Reader comment from Habitually Chic told me to go see Rachel photos from style.com... that *maybe* RZ had some work done. I think so. What do you guys think? I think she is looking more vampy and pulled-back. They eyes are more catlike and weird. But she looks better smooth than like the wrinkled old bag she was before. Here's the allegedly new face:

*****

I actually thought her moment was over, and then the NY Times Magazine prints a 5-page article on Rachel Zoe, celebrity stylist.

That face. It's the face you get if you've chain-smoked Lucky Strikes since middle school and used your head as a catcher's mitt. (Confidential to Zoe: It's called sunscreen, La Mer, and eating a big fat burger every now and then, Rachel... as you age you can either keep your ass or your face, and you should pick door #2, my friend.)

She says she's 36 and I could hardly pay attention to the rest of the article because there is NO WAY your face can look like this at 36.

Harvey Weinstein, the former Miramax honcho who is sleeping with one of the designers of Marchesa, bought the rights to Halston and now Zoe's on board trying to resurrect the disco-fabulous brand. Good luck. Her style is so specific and so 2.5 years ago, she's going to have to get people to buy into her drippy, coke'd-up look all over again and then make us swallow Halston. Not so sure about that.

I do want her shoes & jewelry, though. Bitch has closets that will make you weep with envy.

OMG I just read the article, there weren't any pics of her upclose thoguh. She does look much older than she says she is but more than that, after reading the article... I thought she was kind of yuk. I know that's not too nice but I was actually feeling ill when they quoted her. Changing her sunnies when the sun changed, "what"? Kind of scary to think she's dresses young girls, or that they may admire her !!

omg, try like 46!!! How pathetic it is to have to lie about your age, especially when you look your age. It's hard to hide 10 years, it shows on everyone. People say a President really ages, then they show pictures of the man 8 years previously. Well, hey. look in the mirror, everyone ages 10 years in 10 years. I didn't read this article, I wonder if it's on their web site?

You have to check out the photos of her from fashion week on www.style.com, she definitely had some work done on her forehead and was no longer hiding it behind the bangs. She was the talk of the town. Very funny!

i read this too. couldn't get those silver platforms or her scary skeletor visage out of my head. also, i'm so tired of that weird pigeon toed thing that these girls have affected (see the shot of her trying on some vest with the platform espadrilles)

and btw, when i moved to so cal, my ex and i both noticed that everyone looked INCREDIBLY sun damaged. it's really evident when you come here from another city. so, she actually could be in her late 30s. i've seen it here. it comes from being a tanorexic and living in such close proximity to the ocean. and i would agree too, heavy on the smoky treats from age 13 on.

okay, i have to say, I laughed my ass off reading this thread. Thanks Decorno! Agree she looks like a hag. My mother is in her late 60s and has less wrinkles! However, please note the lighting in the two shots. Strong light can "erase" or wash out harsh lines on a face. (I'm not saying she hasn't had something done, but the difference in lighting can account for how shitty she looks in the first photo.) The other thing is heavy makeup use can make people look really old. Ladies, lay off the concealer-foundation-powder combo! It only make you look older! Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

You know, I'd put money on her being bulimic. Sadly, a few of my dear friends suffered from the condition and after many years, bulimia makes a person's cheeks puffy in a quite distinctive way (see Renee Zellwegger, too). So, I guess the advice is eat, keep the food down, and avoid the sun and ciggies.

Quit hatin'. I like her steez and obviously many others do as well or she wouldn't be so big. Leave her alone I'm sure we all have flaws that we wouldn't want people to talk shit on. And if she did get work done maybe its because everyone's shit talking made her insecure! Focus your energy on more positive things people. You don't know her or her life!

yeah she does look older so what shes fab. and dresses the best in the game. do yu guys expect her to be perfect? or then there would be nothing to discuss.. and shouldnt yu guys be happy she got work done? because yu just complained about how she looked withoutthe surgery? uu should just think its great for her that she did fix it...... if someone was talking about all of yur ugly faults,that i know yu all HAVE, how would u feel?

I was was wondering if I was the only one thinking she was looking WAY TOO SKINNY and OLD.....sorry Rachael, you seem so nice. But I was wondering if Rogers new scruffier look was so he wouldnt look so much younger than her, like he had been.
